'Marion M. Treat and Bertha B.Deardoff, both of Lorena, were married at the court house in Liberal,March 14, by the probate judge."I presume that every ' citizen ofLiberal knows that the Liberal Woman's Club has provided the city witha free public library for severalyears, assisted only by a few publicspirited citizens who have donatedbooks and money. This', library hasbeen a success in every respect batwith its growth in size and usefulness the burden of its maintenancehas become to' great for ..a few citizens to bear. They now offer to donate the fifteen hundred ' vdlumesnow in the library and ask that thecity assume responsibilty ' for theRUNNING EXPENSES of the library. . This is not a proposition to builda building nor, if it carries, wouldthe city be authorized to build one.To secure a building it would be necessary to submit that proposition tothe voters at a later time. No voterneed fear that he is placing a greatand unjust burden on the city. Theinjustice is in expecting a few citizens to provide for the city thosethings the cjty ought to provide foritself.Anyone who may vote for city offf ices may vote on this proposition.F. 0.
